καὶ τὰ τῆς τραχυτέρας τύχης ἄχθη ἐξουθενεῖ. Τοιγαροῦν εἰ καὶ τὰ μάλιστα πρὸς τὴν προσφιλεστάτην ὑμῶν θεοσέβειαν ὁ δεσπότης ἡμῶν, ὁ τῆς μακαρίας μνήμης Κωνσταντῖνος ὁ σεβαστὸς, ὁ ἐμὸς πατὴρ, τὸν αὐτὸν ἐπίσκοπον τῷ ἰδίῳ τόπῳ παρασχεῖν προῄρητο, ὅμως ἐπειδὴ ἀνθρωπίνῳ κλήρῳ προληφθεὶς, πρὸ τοῦ τὴν εὐχὴν πληρῶσαι ἀνεπαύσατο, ἀκόλουθον ἡγησάμην τὴν προαίρεσιν τοῦ τῆς θείας μνήμης βασιλέως διαδεξάμενος πληρῶσαι: ὅστις ἐπειδὰν τῆς ὑμετέρας τύχῃ προσόψεως, ὅσης αἰδοῦς παῤ ἐμοῦ τετύχηκε, γνώσεσθε.
